Slayer.

[Zatochii]

Hello,

 

So I'm now maxed melee's and I really want to get 99 slayer now through melee since it's really slow for both mage (which i'm already 95 in) and range (88 and planning to chin to 99 at some point). My main question here is, can i still make money from slayer pre- 93/95 or can you even break even without getting lucky drops?

You should cannon every task that you get which will get you 99 range in the process. It should be fairly close to break even if you are using cannon.

buckwhoots yippy yip! (that means i'm in agreement with paul - use your cannon wherever possible!).

[Zatochii]

At the moment i dont have the money to cannon (a.k.a cant afford cannonballs unless i end up making them myself which is a waste of time).

If you don't cannon you'll definitely make a profit. I generally make a minimum of 500k+ per task even if I get no rare drops (of course this wouldn't include things like hellhounds which have no drops). Even just a task of blue dragons can net you upwards of a million gp if you bank all the bones and hides.

 

 

EDIT: Just noticed you didn't put your slayer level. What is it?

EDIT2: Nvm, highscores say... 91! So yeah, at 91 you'll definitely make a decent profit (which you should kinda know by this point I would think...)

500k+ per task, skipping all tasks that aren't dragons?

500k+ isn't all that realistic of a number. I'd say that 200k+ per task is more realistic.

Well, I do have many of the non-profitable tasks blocked (Suqahs, Kalphites, Hellhounds, Terror Dogs). Looking over the list I suppose I do seem to get the more profitable things assigned to me rather often. In any case any task of dragons, wyverns, abby spectres, abyssal demons, dark beasts, or warped tortoises should net you 500k+ even without rare drops. Spiritual mages used to be on that list too as you could generally count on 1-2 boots per task, but with the current price of boots that's not enough. If you don't put the stipulation of "not counting rare drops" I'd definitely say my tasks average at least 500k+. Also, some of the not-so-profitable ones can be made profitable if you do them right (Greater Demons -> Zammy GWD, Dagannoths -> DKS, etc.).
